Oil in Ecuador

The past weeks of school was littered with presentations and a few stuck out to me - especially one on the oil issues in Ecuador. I searched to find a link to more info from the group, but I came up empty. So keep your eyes out for an updated link once I find it.

But until then...
This is the opening quote on a website I found that has the best info about this ish.

“Our health has been damaged seriously by the contamination caused by Texaco. Many people in our community now have red stains on their skin and others have been vomiting and fainting. Some little children have died because their parents did not know they should not drink the river water.” 


This was the website that the group exposed. Take a look and get uncomfortable with this issue!

Take a look at the videos about the film Crude.
